Happy wild Wednesday! I'm delivering on last week's promise of more clouded leopard photos. Isn't she gorgeous? I love her pink tongue and nose.

I'm not sure what she was smelling in the air but it was enough to keep her from her nap.

 At least for a little while.

 She would alternate between smelling the air and getting comfortable.

And finally her desire to nap won. I love her giant paws. Clouded leopards are both beautiful and rare members of the big cat family.

Thank you for visiting! Be sure to pop back in for floral Friday if you like flowers. May God bless this precious clouded leopard, the National Zoo residents and staff, and may He bless you too!
